Delgatie Castle
Best Visitor Experience award-winner. Dating from
1030, Delgatie Castle is steeped in Scottish history
yet still has the atmosphere of a lived-in home. The
castle boasts a Mary, Queen of Scots bed chamber,
Victorian clothes, fine furniture and some of the most
exquisite painted ceilings in Scotland. Home baking
and lunches are served in the award-winning Laird’s
Kitchen. There is also self-catering accommodation
available in the castle.
Kinnaird Head
Kinnaird Head Castle, which now forms part of the
Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, was built by the
Frasers of Philorth in 1570. Looks down on the bustling
harbour of Fraserburgh while the adjoining Wine
Tower sits perched dramatically over the crashing tides.
Come and visit Scotland’s most unique castle structure,
with a Stevenson Lighthouse Tower built through its
heart. Discover Kinnaird Head’s fascinating history from
castle, to lighthouse, to museum. Afterwards relax in
Stevenson’s Tearoom taking in some stunning views.
Duff House
One of the finest houses built in Scotland, Duff House
is a magnificent Georgian mansion designed by
William Adam. Standing in extensive parkland, today it
houses a beautiful collection of paintings and furniture
on loan from the National Galleries of Scotland. There
is a shop on-site offering special and unusual gifts and
a tea room providing delicious food and drink. Visitors
can take a stroll along the banks of the River Deveron
to the south of the house or along the Banffshire coast
to the north.
Huntly Castle
Huntly Castle is majestically sited where the rivers
Bogie and Deveron join. Renowned for its splendid
architecture, Huntly Castle served as a baronial
residence for five centuries. The palace block, erected
between the 16th and 17th centuries, has an impressive
L-plan tower house and defensive earthworks from the
civil war. Many impressive features include fine heraldic
sculpture and inscribed stone friezes. The earliest
stronghold on the site sheltered Robert the Bruce in the
14th century.
Spynie Palace
For nearly 500 years, the Bishops of Moray
relaxed in this majestic building a short distance
from their cathedral at Elgin. It even had its own
bowling green and, according to one account,
a tennis court. Today, you can climb David’s
Tower, where bishops once entertained kings and
queens. The views over Moray Speyside are well
worth the ascent. Look out for the wildlife – barn
owls nest here.
Balvenie Castle
Defended by a magnificent curtain wall and an iron
yett, Balvenie was a stronghold of the powerful
Black Comyns, rivals to Robert the Bruce in the
early 1300s. It ultimately became the Renaissance
residence of the Earls of Atholl, who built the Atholl
Lodging with its grand circular tower. In September
1562 the 4th Earl of Atholl John Stewart played host
to Mary, Queen of Scots, and probably gave over
the master suite to her.
Leith Hall, Garden & Estate
Leith Hall is a typical Scottish laird’s residence brimming with
family treasures and set in a scenic estate that overlooks
some of Aberdeenshire’s finest rolling countryside. A tour of
Leith Hall gives you a real insight into the life of the Leith-Hay
family over 10 generations. Discover the curious collections,
including the ‘boxing squirrels’. An exhibition tells the story of
generations of military men and the part they played in battles
through the decades. Enjoy a visit to the beautiful gardens
with features including a Rock Garden which is being restored
to its original 1900s design.
